Frequently-asked questions > Post-Gazette wraparounds
  
Q.  What are they?

A.  "Wraparound" is an industry term referring to a small bonus section that sheathes -- i.e., is wrapped around -- the regular edition of a newspaper.  It's one piece of newsprint, folded to make four pages.

 

Q.  How were they distributed?

A.  Wraparounds are most commonly issued at major events as an enticement to buy that day's paper.  The wraparound is affiliated with the event itself -- usually a concert or a sporting event.

 

Q.  What makes them so special?

A.  You had to be there: wraparounds were only available at the events for which they were issued.  Also, think of it this way: ever read the newspaper on the morning's subway commute?  Or reach down after the game for your program, only to find it trampled and sodden with beer?  That might shed a little light on how hard these are to find in quality condition.

 

Q.  How do you ship them?

A.  We ship all newspaper products flat, folded carefully on the original crease, with considerable cardboard protection; occasionally, we'll roll them and ship in a crush-proof tube.  We send them first-class U.S. Mail.
